Hackensack, NJ Community Message Boards

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank to you everyone for "weighing in" on the election.  For the most part, residents have addressed substantive issues in a constructive and respectful way.  It is encouraging to see that so many people are truly concerned with the fate and direction of the City.  More than 2000 people looked at this message board topic!

Local elections are as important as state and federal elections.  The decisions this council makes will directly affect our day to day lives.  From a look at these messages, it's clear that local voters understand this.  When everything is said and done, I think we could all agree that democracy is alive and well in Hackensack. 

As an aside, I have to agree with the prior post.  There should have been a debate.  I think a debate goes a long way in helping voters get a feel for the type of person a candidate is.  Maybe next election.

I appreciate the efforts of the 13 candidates who ran.  This was a particularly grueling race. I credit anyone who subjects themselves to this type of pressure in the hope of having the opportunity to serve the community.  I wish all the candidates luck.

Kids Recreate "The Nightmare Before Christmas"

Saturday May 7th, 3:30pm & 5:00pm

Once again the children of CMDE’s Saturday Workshop have successfully transformed their favorite story in to an exciting live performance. This time they bring you both Christmas and Halloween all in Spring with “The Nightmare Before Christmas.”  The Saturday Workshop performance program by children for children is offered by CMDE to its students FREE of charge.  Musicals are selected by the teenage choreographers and taught to their cast over eight Saturdays

Choreographers Evelyn Chen & Roni Finkelstein both age 13, have created a refreshingly original version of the popular children’s movie and book.  CMDE faculty member, Sarah Savoye is the director of this cast of 22 children ages 7 to 16 years old, hailing from all over Bergen County and beyond (Cresskill, Fairview, Sussex, Bogota, Glen Rock, Westwood, Bergenfield, Tenafly, Little Falls, Paramus, Teaneck, and Hackensack). The magic begins on Saturday, May 7, 3:30pm & 5pm at CMDE, 84 Euclid Avenue, Hackensack.  Admission is $7 for adults and $5 for children & seniors citizens.

To find out how your child can participate in future Saturday Workshops or information about the non-profit Center for Modern Dance Education come see us at the performance or call (201) 342-2989 or visit website at cmde.org.
